US energy technology firm Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) has signed a new agreement with Siemens Energy to commence work on 20 steam turbine-generator sets totaling 1GW of capacity, to be used in B&W's FastPower program for data center customers.

The order is separate from a deal signed between the two companies earlier this year to supply Applied Digital’s data center campuses with natural gas generation, which covers 300MW of capacity.
B&W did not name the customer for the new 1GW order. DCD has reached out for further information.
"As demand for dependable, large-scale power generation continues to accelerate, particularly from AI data center customers, we are strengthening our collaboration with Siemens Energy through this agreement," said Brandy Johnson, chief technology officer at B&W. "This order secures 1GW of capacity and further positions us to deliver reliable, high-capacity energy solutions on the accelerated timelines our customers require."
